Bringing Climate Data to Life
By Mickey Snowden, Communications Specialist at The Collider, Asheville, NC - March 2020
As Communications Liaison with The Collider, I have the unique pleasure of talking with our various members and partners about their newest climate products, services, and technologies. This week, I sat down with Dave Michelson, software designer at the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center (NEMAC), and LuAnn Dahlman, science writer with NOAA’s Climate Program Office. We discussed their work on the latest update to the Climate Explorer — a web tool that provides interactive graphs and maps of climate information for every county in the contiguous United States — which was released at the end of January with the help of Collider members NEMAC and FernLeaf Interactive.
